DESCRIPTION:

Perhaps the most popular trek in Nepal after the Classic Everest Base Camp trek, the Annapurna Round trek offers as much of a cultural insight into the Himalayan way of life than the rewards of a full-fledged high-mountain trek. Since the area first opened to outside visitors in the 1970s, it has since then become the world’s most famous trekking destination, welcoming each year mountain lovers from all around the globe.

The Annapurna round trek stretches over a period of 10 days and crosses the mighty Thorong La pass (5412m), the highest altitude
you will encounter. Starting in green hill country, with its picturesque villages and terraced fields, you will gradually
walk up to more desert-like high altitude landscapes with
typical Tibetan villages whose prayer flags, mani-walls and monasteries are constant reminders of the thriving Buddhist culture they belong to. Some of the highlights of this trek will include visiting the ancient temples of Manang and Muktinath, marveling at the 360 degrees panorama of peaks from the Thorong La pass, and a well-deserved dip in the natural hot springs of Tatopani at the end of the trek.

Before and after the trek, Namkha has also arranged a brief cultural tour of the cultural centers of the Kathmandu and Pokhara valleys, so that you may marvel at the diversity and
rich cultural heritage of Nepal.
